Slampo: Chron editorials are grand Olympian pronouncements!
The Chron's bilingual education editorial from the other day has become fodder for Slampo. Guess who comes out ahead? Here's a brief excerpt:
The editorial is relatively mealy-mouthed when it comes to taking a discernible stand on the issue, which is OK by us, as we know how hard it is to pretend to be correct all the time and then change your mind the following day. But the subhead over the editorial, “Politics should not determine how we teach English to Spanish-speaking children” (which oddly did not comport with the headline, “Little Sponges,” referring to kids’ capacity to suck up new languages when surrounded by, as the paper puts it, “foreign speakers,” which we presume in this case would be speakers of that foreign language known as inglés), nicely gives away the paper’s true sentiment.
And here's how Slampo describes the editorial page writing:
the writing radiates the obvious fatigue that must come with having to take a position and issue a grand Olympian pronouncement on every issue/conflict/concern that comes a’rollin’ down the toll road of life.
Including critical Houston issues such as the king of Swaziland's opulent lifestyle.
